How this is written: we run the full set of recent Google reviews through AI to pull out what guests consistently say — including the complaints, which is why there's a downsides list rather than only the good bits. It's rewritten as new reviews come in, so it describes the hotel as it is now, not as it was whenever someone last got round to writing a paragraph about it. Read the reviews yourself on Google Maps.

Cheesman Park is an amazingly serene, breathtaking place where you can learn so much about nature. It's a place not to be rushed. When you visit, take your time. You can't take it in all in one day... I spent half a day at Cheesman Park with my son who requested to go back the next day! Such a beautiful place

Love this park! So great that they blocked cars from driving through out the park. Had made it so much more peaceful and way more enjoyable. Always like having a picnic, walking the dogs, and people watching here!
